Graville Abbey is the most downstream of all the abbeys located along the river Seine. Since the Middle Ages, it has experienced great periods of prosperity and splendour but also episodes of violence following the ups and downs of history. A masterpiece of Romanesque architecture in Normandy, Graville Church has been built over different construction periods since the 10th century. Clinging to the hillside, it overlooks the city of Le Havre and the river, its terraced garden offers a stunning panoramic view over the coastline of Lower-Normandy as far as Caen. The monastic buildings hold a museum that displays one of the most beautiful collections of religious statues in Normandy as well as precious stones and silver items coming from regional religious buildings and from the abbey itself. It also holds a surprising collection of over 150 scale-models from the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20h century representing human habitation. Although the site was most likely and quickly occupied by Benedictines, William Mallet de Graville gave it its Romanesque grandeur in the 11th century after returning victorious from the Battle of Hastings alongside William the Conqueror. It was then greatly endowed again at the beginning of the 13th century by one of his descendants, who summoned Augustinians from Sainte-Barbe-en Auge. In the 17th century, the "génovéfains" from the Congregation of France brought new alterations to the buildings and new rules. A remarkable baroque retable was built in the choir. The génovéfains who settled in Graville included great scholars, astronomers and naturalists such as the canons Pingré and Ventanat. The Abbey and its surrounding environment: It comprises a church and monastic buildings, but the cloister and refectory no longer exist. A romantic graveyard surrounds it, holding some remarkable graves belonging to scholars and merchants from Le Havre and children's headstones bearing epitaphs written by Victor Hugo. To the south, terraced gardens stretch down the slope. Overlooking the city, there is a monumental statue of the Madonna and Child, called the "Black Virgin" because it has replaced another statue made in a less noble material that has turned black due to corrosion. It is owed to the mothers of soldiers who were thankful for the sparing of the city during the Prussian invasion of 1870.

The Dubocage de Bléville Mansion Museum, located in the heart of the Saint François neighbourhood designed in the 16th century by the Italian architect Jérôme Bellarmato at the request of King Francis I, was the property of the merchant seaman Michel Joseph Dubocage de Bléville (1676-1727). He distinguished himself by taking part in an important expedition to the Pacific Ocean sailing round Cape Horn between 1707 and 1716. During this expedition, on Friday 3rd April 1711, on board the ship La Découverte, he discovered Passion Island off the coast of Mexico, which was later renamed Clipperton Island by the British. His voyage then took him to China, more precisely Amoy (known today as Xiamen) where he negotiated one of the first trade treaties between France and China. On 23rd August 1716, after a nine-year expedition, the ship La Découverte arrived in Le Havre with its hold full of silverware and raw silver. Wealthier after this expedition, he bought a townhouse which is now known as the Dubocage de Bléville Mansion. After improving and extending it, he settled there with his son and set up a maritime trade company and a cabinet of curiosities. It comprises two remarkable adjoining buildings dating back to the 17th century. One is a half-timbered building covered in slate, the other one is made out of brick and black flint. At the back, Rue de Percanville, a detached brick building from the 17th century used to house one of the shops of the Dubocage de Bléville's trade company. Visitors can have a walk around the different rooms on the ground floor and first floor of the house. On the ground floor, permanent exhibitions regularly make way for temporary exhibitions about the history of Le Havre. On the first floor a room is dedicated to Michel-Joseph Dubocage de Bléville and his son.
